I won't even consider this without pricing, I can't imagine how anyone could.

Serverless Aurora is stupid-expensive so I can't imagine this is going to be cheap but I keep hunting for that perfect DB that can scale to 0 (or very low) and be priced well.

Right now neon.tech is what I'm using and I'm very happy but this looks like it would be interesting IF the pricing is good.

I'm also on Neon. Seems like the primary benefit of this would be multi-region support, which Neon doesn't have. But I do wonder if multi-AZ is actually just enough, has there ever really been a time when all AZs have gone down?

yes, every couple of years there's a region-wide outage. On us-east anyway.

Fortunately I'm in Europe ha

we have multi-region disaster recovery and replicas coming in 2025. Switch over time will be greater than this active-active system but the overall latency for Neon should be much less on a consistent basis.

Now we're fucking talking.
